Hosted by Nimble Approach & WeAreTechWomen

As the tech industry rapidly pivots toward AI and data-driven roles, what does the right skillset for tomorrow actually look like? Join us in Manchester during Women in Tech Week for an inspiring session dedicated to navigating this shift, championing early talent and empowering more women to thrive in tech.

The session begins with an exclusive keynote from Vanessa, Founder, WeAreTechWomen. She’ll be sharing actionable, career-building insights from her new book and the Lovelace report, specifically tailored to help you navigate the AI revolution.

We’ll then sit down with a powerhouse panel of data and tech leaders to cut through the hype. We'll be talking about the reality of AI adoption (and why it can sometimes feel so slow!), how our day-to-day roles and teams are evolving, and how to get your hands on the practical tools and skills needed to future-proof your career in a changing marketplace.
